Prior to forming Jinusean, Sean worked as a back-up dancer for legendary

in the early 1990s, and Jinu debuted as a solo artist with the song, "I Was The Captain" in 1994.

The two debuted as Jinusean with the single, "Gasoline," in 1997 under the guidance of
YG Entertainment
CEO and former Seo Taiji and Boys member
Yang Hyun-suk
and former
Deux
member Lee Hyun Do.

Their second single, "Tell Me" (featuring singer
Uhm Jung-hwa
), was the duo's first hit and propelled them to stardom.

Notably, Jinusean became the first hip hop artist to sell over 700,000 copies in South Korea.

Between 2004 and 2014, the duo went on an extended hiatus but remained at YG Entertainment working in various behind-the-scenes roles.
